Enos 1:1

Behold, it came to pass that

I, Enos, knowing my father that he was a just man —

for he taught me in his language,

and also in the nurture and admonition of the Lord —

and blessed be the name of my God for it —

Enos 1:4

And my soul hungered;

and I kneeled down before my Maker,

and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul;

and all the day long did I cry unto him;

yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high

that it reached the heavens.

Enos 1:9

Now, it came to pass that when I had heard these words

I began to feel a desire for the welfare of my brethren, the Nephites;

wherefore, I did pour out my whole soul unto God for them.

Enos 1:10

And while I was thus struggling in the spirit,

behold, the voice of the Lord came into my mind again, saying:

I will visit thy brethren

according to their diligence in keeping my commandments.

I have given unto them this land,

and it is a holy land;

and I curse it not save it be for the cause of iniquity;

wherefore, I will visit thy brethren according as I have said;

and their transgressions will I bring down with sorrow upon their own heads.

Enos 1:11

And after I, Enos, had heard these words,

my faith began to be unshaken in the Lord;

and I prayed unto him with many long strugglings

for my brethren, the Lamanites.

Enos 1:14

for at the present our strugglings were vain

in restoring them to the true faith.

And they swore in their wrath

that, if it were possible,

they would destroy our records and us,

and also all the traditions of our fathers.

Enos 1:15

Wherefore, I knowing

that the Lord God was able to preserve our records,

I cried unto him continually,

for he had said unto me:

Whatsoever thing ye shall ask in faith,

believing that ye shall receive

in the name of Christ,

ye shall receive it.

Enos 1:18

And the Lord said unto me:

Thy fathers have also required of me this thing;

and it shall be done unto them according to their faith;

for their faith was like unto thine.

Enos 1:27

And I soon go to the place of my rest,

which is with my Redeemer;

for I know that in him I shall rest.

And I rejoice in the day

when my mortal shall put on immortality,

and shall stand before him;

then shall I see his face with pleasure,

and he will say unto me:

Come unto me, ye blessed,

there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father.

Amen.
